Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau."
"The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities."
"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers. This is an area for improvement in the product. What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
